📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Concordia has been in partnership for several years with the UFCV (French Union of Holiday Center) association. The UFCV manages a leisure and holiday centre at the Frayse Domain: the former vineyard has a magnificent 24-hectare park with various sports areas, an educational farm and a vegetable garden gathering people from all ages.
For several years now, the Frayse Domain has been hosting one of the most singular youth festivals in New Aquitaine: The Frayse'Toch #educpop is coming to its 6th edition (https://fraysetoch.wixsite.com/fraysetoch), on which Concordia volunteers will once again fully be part of the festival's preparation, animation and closing team.
💼 What the programme involves
Take part in the new edition of the famous Frayse'Toch festival, a popular education event! As every year, the Frayse Domain organises a festival of non-formal education which highlights all the arts, from today\'s music, to world music, and from theatre to pyrotechnics! The workcamp will consist in preparing, animating and closing the new edition of this summer event which is a must for young and old people!
A small peculiarity for this new edition, the Concordia volunteer team will be composed of adult European volunteers, part of the European Solidarity Corps. You will take an important role during the festival, through the animation of a marquee dedicated to European mobility and intercultural encounters.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents and a shared room will be available for cooking and group activities. The park will provide you with outdoor lounges to enjoy your free time in the sun. http://www.domaine-de-la-frayse.fr/.
